Super confused. It says to declare the secret variable outside of the loop which includes a prompt

It also says to create a prompt inside the do, but then it says that there shouldn't be 2 prompts. Please help me

script.js 
    var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
do {

}

while ( secret !== "sesame" )

document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

You can declare the variable outside of the do while, and then set the value of the variable inside of the do while statement. 

var secret;
do {
  secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
}

I managed to figure it out but was unsure how to deleted the question, thanks though.
